Edit the caption and place the cursor at the end of the last bit of text. Press the Enter key a couple of times to add a couple of lines. On the bottom line, add a bullet. The presence of the bullet should prevent the entire caption from using anti-aliasing and looking fuzzy. After that, you simply adjust the size of the caption so that the bullet is hidden. Hi all

As soon as I do this, the text gets even worse than it does when not changing highlight colour. Any ideas how the fix this? Hi,

When you re-import, the highlight color is changed in Captivate to match Word. This makes transparent captions that used this trick look worse until you find all your transparent captions and reset the highlight color.
